I am worried about the welfare of an animal in my local area. What can I do?

My neighbour’s dog is constantly barking and disturbing me. What can I do?

If you are concerned about barking, phone your local council with a noise complaint. Any person can make a complaint to the District Court under Section 25 of the Control of Dogs Act 1986 for nuisance caused by a barking dog. You will have to keep a log of dates, times and duration of barking.
